Alyson Bevan - Swansea

The lift is allowing me to live again and it may sound over the top to some, but I now have my life back.

Muscular Dystrophy sufferer, Alyson Bevan (38) from Swansea, can enjoy family days out again and attend her best friend's wedding thanks to an Autochair Smart Transfer Person Lift.

After a fall in 2013, Alyson was bed-bound for three months and the little muscle strength she had was gone leaving her unable to walk. While researching solutions to get from her wheelchair into the car, Alyson found Autochair’s YouTube videos which inspired her to find out more.

"Having the lift installed in my car has made my life worth living again. It has given me the freedom and independence to go out when I’m ready, taking the physical strain off my husband too. As a family we used to love going out for drives and enjoy spending time together but after the fall I thought I was going to spend my life in bed.

"Most importantly the lift means I can be part of my best friend’s wedding. It would have broken her heart for me not to be there!

"From the first phone call, to the lovely gentleman who demonstrated the lift and handled the paperwork, my Autochair experience was faultless. I was made to feel at ease and everything was done at a pace I was comfortable with.

"The lift is allowing me to live again and it may sound over the top to some, but I now have my life back. Hospital appointments are easy to get to and I can go out when I want without worrying about being too tired or falling. I’m making memories with my husband and four children again, not letting my disability make the decisions.

"I can't thank everyone at Autochair enough for all their care and attention. Without them I wouldn't be able to lead the fulfilling life that my Autochair lift has enabled me to do. I would definitely recommend their products to anyone!”
